Why This Must Be Read: It's the language, really. Rodney, who usually fires words like bullets, instead wields them like a sculptor trying to define the shape of his life and to answer the question nobody ever asked him: "Who are they to you?" It's short and beautiful and worth reading at least twice.

Rodney finds himself leaning into them, thinks of what he would do for them without hesitation, what they have done for him, and finds himself thinking I’m theirs with such startling clarity that his hands are shaking when he pulls the cap off the next bottle.
